Free RIFT Character Transfers Coming

Trion Worlds announces plans to offer free character transfers in RIFT when the version 1.3 update goes live in their MMORPG this summer. They say players will be able to switch to select servers in their territory once each week, taking all items, achievements, and titles with them, and that guild leaders will be able to move their guild's level and experience as well. This service will operate for free for the foreseeable future, and here's a bit more:

“MMOs are all about playing with your friends no matter which server they’re on, and that’s why we’re offering this as a free service to our subscribers,” said Scott Hartsman, Executive Producer. “RIFT is both a game and a service, and adding free server transfers is just one more way we can make this the best possible MMO experience available.”

Whether you want to play with friends, check out a new server, or avoid queue times on highly populated servers, you’ll be free to move about Telara. As a part of this grand experiment, there will initially be no limits on the number of times you can transfer your characters or guild.
